I'm building a cabinet. The top is solid white oak, 13 inches wide, 53 inches long, 3/4 inches thick. I'm not concerned about wood movement of the cabinet itself, because it's a panel-type construction. But for a top this size, is wood movement likely to be an issue? Can I simply glue the top on, or do I need to allow for expansion and contraction in the 13" direction?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
